Oil & Gas Fields in Romania
Romania has 33 oil & gas fields mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 31st-largest fleet of the 91 countries that hold any, and 0.5% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 30 operating and 3 under construction or proposed. The largest is Totea Deep Gas Field (Romania).
The largest owner-operators are Romgaz (15), OMV Petrom (8) and OMV AG (2) — Romgaz alone is named on 45% of them. Half of Romania's oil & gas fields in service predate 1987 (median commissioning year of the 13 with a known date), 1 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Baicoi Nord Oil Field (Romania), dating from 1901. 3 are in the pipeline, led by Ana Gas Field (Romania), proposed. They account for 17% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Romania.
